GERMANY’S ACTION :
MO.T INOPPORTUNE
Bombardment of San Carlos
Fortifications.
ENGLISH WRITERS ON AFFAIR.
Considered Direct Affront to Washing
ton Government, Which Is Striving
to Make Peace and Procure Satis
factory Settlement of Claims.
New York, Jan. 24.—The attempt of
the German naval authorities to de
stroy the San Carlos fortifications,
capture a gunboat in Lake Maracai
bo and interrupt the passage of sup
plies from Colombia eastward is con
sidered most inopportune by all Eng
lish writers commenting on the affair,
since it is a direct affront to the
Washington government. which is
striving to make peace and procure a
satisfactory settlement of outstanding
claims, says The Tribune’s London
correspondent.
According to the Berlin press, what
ever is done on the coast of Venezue
la is by joint authority. If Germa
ny7 be guilty of unfriendly conduct to
ward the United States, England, as
a partner in the alliance with her,
is also responsible. This obligation
lends emphasis to the warning from
the strongest conservative journals
that there will be grave dissatisfaction
throughout the United Kingdom, if
the alliance with Germany- involves
England in any sort of trouble with
the United States.
GERMANY FEELS INDIGNANT.
Foreign Office Official on American
Press Comments.
Berlin, Jan. 24.—The foreign office
representatives today in conversation
with the correspondent of the Associ
ated Press referred in aggrieved tones
to the American press comments up
on the bombardment of Fort San Car
los. One official said:
In view of Commodore Scheder’s
report Germany has a just right to feel
indignant at the fact that a portion of
the American press Is aroused over
the false statements of what occurred
at San Carlos without awaiting the
facts in the case, and thereupon at
tacking a friendly power. The Pan
ther s action, the official report shows
was strictly within the limits of in
ternational law. She was proceeding
past the foit to enter the lagoon of
Maracaibo in order to prevent the im
portation of contraband articles from
Colombia and she was fired upon. The
Panther, of course, answered the fire
as she was entitled to do. The at
tack was not made by us, but by the
Venezuelan forts. We are quite unable
to see why any neutral power should
express disapproval because the Pan
ther replied, or because our vessel af
terward leveled the forts, since it was
a hindrance to an effective blockade
The assumption that we want to pre
vent a settlement of the matter with
Washington and the speedy raising of
the blockade is wholly mistaken.
“We want the blockade to be raised
just as soon as the powers have ade
quate gi-'-antees in hand that their
claims will be met. We do not even
ask for the immediate payment of
money, but only for guarantees. We
cannot raise the blockade empty hand
ed without any form of guarantee.”
COERCION MUST CONTINUE.
Agreement Between Powers Concern
ing Venezuelan Blockade.
London, Jan. IL. —It was learned
to day by a representative of the As
sociated Press that Great Britain. Ger
many and Italy have agreed that Mr.
Bowen’s proposal that a blockade of
Venezuela be immediately raised can
not be entertained, and that coercive
action must continue until a proper
guarantee is forthcoming. The foreign
offices hold that any otfcer course
would entail a failure of the attempts
to bring about a settlement by diplo
macy at Washington.
Regarding the position of the other
claimants against Venezuela the block,
ading powers contend that their,
claims must be satisfactorily settled
before the demand's of countries who
are not actively asserting them can
receive attention.
Forty-Four Shell Took Effect.
Berlin. Jan. 24.—An official dispatch
from Willeinstadt, Curacao, dated Jan
-23, says:
The Vineta arrived in the Gulf of
Maracaibo Jan. 21, and approached
within ~300 yards of the shore. At 11
o’clock she began a bombardment
which was continued with an hour of
intermission, until 3p. m . The Pan
ther, which was standing by, observed
that 44 shells took effect.
Anxiety For Overdue Ship
Victoria, B. C„ Jan. 24,-The steam,
er Miowera brought from Honolulu
news that great anxiety is being felt
at that port for the ship Florence,
which was 45 days out from Tacoma
for Honolulu, when the Miowera sail
ed on Jan. lfl. and has not since been
reported. She sailed from Puget
sound Dec. 2, during a heavy gale.
Appeal for Pardon Refused.
San Francisco, Jan. 22.—The appeal
for pardon made by John M. Neal,
former captain in the United States
army, now serving a two years’ sen
tence at San Qnentln for forgery, has
been refused by President Roosevelt
Notice of the executive’s action has
been received by Neal’s attorney.
